The songs were officially released by the broadcaster on 30 October, and were received with positive reaction from fans and critics. Presenter Kim Chi said in an interview "I genuinely think this could be the strongest line-up we've had so far. I can't pick a winner, so I hope the viewers at home will manage! And the juries of course, who make up the other 50% of the vote".
